Open data used to be a buzzword tossed around by academicians, Big Data providers, and political activists. However, in recent years it has become not only a reality but in some cases a requirement for governments, NPOs and NGOs globally. Add to that the rich amounts of historical data that are being digitized daily and increases in computing power and Big Data tools, and we're on the verge of a new Information Age.
This session will explore what open data is, how to find it, and what it means to your origanization's website and its followers. Practical examples using open source tools and various data sources will also be presented as well as an open discussion on pros, cons and approaches to leveraging open data - and even providing it!

A Mixed Methods Look at Self-Directed Online Learning: MOOCs, Open Educatio...cjbonk
Abstract: On April 4, 2001 (i.e., “441”), Charles Vest, then president of MIT, made an historic announcement. He set a goal of having most of his university’s courses freely available on the Web in a decade. While some thought this to be a rather bold proclamation, today more than 2,000 MIT courses are available for self-directed learners around the globe to explore, download, use, and share. Suffice to say, we are in the midst of an incredible array of changes across all sectors of education that would have been unthinkable just a decade or two ago. People in remote parts of the world are learning from well-known professors at Princeton, Rice, Harvard, and MIT; typically, without a fee. Countless millions of individuals are engaged in self-directed, informal, and solitary learning experiences with open educational resources (OER) and OpenCourseWare (OCW). At the same time, myriad others are engaged in highly collaborative and interactive learning with global peers who have signed up for a MOOC or “massive open online course.” As these learning experiments unfold, many aspects of college, and schooling in general, are being called into question. There is debate about the value or even the need for a degree. In response, this study explores the learning experiences of self-directed learners, including the common barriers, obstacles, motivations, and successes in such environments. It also explores possibilities for life change from the use of OER, OCW, and MOOCs. Data collection included subscribers of the MIT OCW initiative as well as participants of a MOOC hosted by Blackboard using CourseSites. The findings not only capture the motivational variables involved in informal and self-directed learning experiences through informal education channels, but also provide a set of stories of life change that might inspire others into MOOCs, open education, and beyond.

Bases of Power: Formal Power
• Established by an individual’s
position in an organization
• Legitimate Power
– The formal authority to control and
use resources based on a person’s
position in the formal hierarchy
• Coercive Power
– A power base dependent on fear of
negative results
– Ultimately, you can't build credibility
with this type of power
– Negatively related to satisfaction and
commitment.
• Reward Power
– Compliance achieved based on the
ability to distribute rewards that
others view as valuable 4
Bases of Power: Personal Power
• Power that comes from an individual’s unique characteristics
– Expert Power: based on special skills or knowledge
– _________ Power
• based on identification with an individual who has desirable resources or
personal traits
• Out of admiration of another and a desire to be like that person (with
charisma, integrity, and other positive qualities)
• These are more effective form of power than formal power
influencing satisfaction with supervision, org’l commitment,
and performance. 5
Power Tactics
• Power Tactics
– Ways in which individuals translate power bases into
specific actions
• Legitimacy
• Rational persuasion*
• Inspirational appeals*
• Consultation*
• Exchange
• Personal appeals
• Ingratiation
• Pressure
• Coalitions
* Most effective
(Pressure is the least effective)

How Power Affects People
• Power leads people to place their own interests ahead of others.
• The powerful pay less attention to others, so are more
vulnerable to stereotyping (Fiske, 1993).
• The powerful impose more strict moral standards on others than
themselves.
• It is important that organizations help leaders feel socially
connected with subordinates, and develop empathy. Hiring
leaders with moral identity is also advised.

• Power can energize and increase
approach motivation.
- Act powerful to be powerful and successful

The future of E-learning as an educational innovation: Factors influencing project success and failure. Alexander Romiszowski. Revista brasileira de Aprendizagem aberta e a Distância
Resumo
Este artigo apresenta uma revisão inicial da literatura de fatores críticos para o sucesso e fracasso de iniciativas de E-learning segundo o revelado pela experiência de pesquisadores e praticantes no EUA. Também apresenta uma análise breve do relativo sucesso de inovações tecnológicas educativas, vistas de uma perspectiva das teorias aceitas sobre a difusão de inovações na sociedade. Em alguns aspectos, muitas inovações tecnológicas anteriores seguiram uma trajetória não característica de aceitação, seguida por rejeição geral. Será este o futuro cenário para o E-learning como inovação? E se tais tendências aparecem no país pioneiro, como outros países que adotam um pouco mais tarde os processos de E-learning, como o Brasil, evitam estes erros?

WordCamp Philly 2011: Gamification for a Funtastic User ExperienceSteven Johnson
How do you motivate users to contributions to a blog? Gamification applies the best concepts from games to the design of user experience: challenge, achievement and reward. Points, badges, levels, achievements, and leader boards can all dramatically alter users behaviors. Come hear how we are using the Achievements plugin along with the promise (and pitfalls!) of gamification. Note: attendance of the entire session is required to earn a Gamification Experience badge.
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
